Excerpt from Lectures on Explosives: A Course of Lectures, Prepared Especially as a Manual and Guide, in the Laboratory of the U. S. Artillery
The following course of lectures is intended to serve as a manual and guide in the practical laboratory-work in the course of explosives at the U. S. Artillery School.
The aim has been to present the subject systematically and logically, due consideration being given to the sequence in which the various classes of explosives are arranged, so that a certain degree of familiarity may be acquired in manipulating the less sensitive and dangerous mixtures before undertaking experiments with the high explosives.
Particular attention has been given to the service tests of the various explosives, in the description of which all technical terms have been avoided as far as possible.
While the bulk of the matter here presented is the result of compilation, it is believed that a portion at least appears i in print for the first time.
In submitting these pages I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness for assistance and encouragement to Professor Munroe, and Lieutenant-Colonel R. T. Frank, 2d Artillery, Commandant of the Artillery School.
With the permission of Professor C. E. Munroe, Chemist to the U. S. Navy Torpedo Corps, I have borrowed largely from his course of "Lectures on Chemistry and Explosives," delivered at the Torpedo Station, the arrangement of the subject-matter being slightly changed to meet the requirements of the Artillery School.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study of explosive reactions at the interface of chemical transformations and thermodynamics. The author traces the historical evolution of explosives, from the earliest pyrotechnics to the modern high explosives used in warfare and industry. Drawing on the principles of thermochemistry, the book elucidates the role of molecular work, heat liberation, and maximum work in determining the force and effects of explosive reactions. The author examines the properties and applications of various explosive mixtures, including nitrate and chlorate-based compositions. Particular attention is given to explosive compounds, such as nitro-substitution products, nitric esters, fulminates, and smokeless powders. These substances are analyzed in terms of their chemical composition, stability, and explosive characteristics. This book not only provides a thorough understanding of the scientific principles underlying explosive reactions but also highlights the importance of these reactions in shaping human history and technological development. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of explosives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330641569_0
